I love the wheel choice!

Thanks! It took me a very long time to settle on them. Ultimately, I wanted something simple that would clear Brembos and be lightweight. I'm not a fan of big wheels because I know that they have serious performance disadvantages. These seem to do well on both the appearance and performance fronts, so I fell in love with them. The Forgestars fit the bill pretty well. Just waiting on tires before I put them on!

Fays2 Watts Link, J&M Extreme LCAs, and Whiteline LCA Relo brackets installed. I can't imagine doing anything more to the suspension, she handles perfectly with no additional NVH. I was a little mad that Whiteline didn't supply a new panhard bar bolt because I don't have a panhard bar attached any more. The watts link definitely takes some patience to get it right, but it's worth it in the end.

Here's a few pictures with the new wheels. Just waiting on the new hood and bumper and the exterior will be done!

I finished installing the Exedy Mach 400 clutch and lightweight flywheel, as well as the new TOB. Never again. After bleeding it a bit, the clutch feels great so I'm going to give it a nice break-in. I have a question though, my engine now seems to have a ticking noise, possibly from the valve train. Sounds like something from the cams. Not quite sure, it mostly occurs under heavier acceleration, but it's not all the time. During the installation I tried to keep the flywheel from rotating as little as possible, but it did happen. Could this have anything to do with it?

I'm going to take a look at it as well. Kind of more of a "snicking" sound, not metallic or anything. I wonder if I screwed up the timing...
